At Lion’s Roar, we’re passionate about sharing the best of Buddhist wisdom with the world.

We produce two magazines, a series of related special publications, online courses, in-person events and retreats, and more. As our organization and its activities expand, we have greater need to clearly communicate our mission, and to clearly communicate about our offerings.

We’re looking to build relationships with professional, full-service copywriters to help ensure our messages are effective, and tailored to our wonderful audience. You’ll have the confidence and experience to quickly take us from project-brief to work-of-genius and to produce great results with minimal oversight. (But you’ll also be receptive to feedback from our team in pursuit of the best result!)

Interested? The first step is to share copywriting samples, so we invite you to send your best to us, at [email protected], including “Copywriter” in the subject-line. (If you have references, testimonials, or a website, feel free to include them too.) Your samples need not be about offerings in the “Buddhist” or “mind/body/spirit” vein — though if they convey that you would be comfortable writing in that vein, that’s good!

A closing note: you of course don’t have to be Buddhist to write copy for us. But knowing a thing or three about Buddhism could only be a good thing, and the more you know about it (to a point), the better. Perhaps just as important is to have a sense of what you don’t know, so you know what questions to ask. Ultimately, what we’re looking for is a balance of expertise and beginner’s mind: a fresh but informed approach to what we do.

We’re glad to have you here. But first: who are “we”?
You may very well know us as the publishers of two Buddhist magazines, the Shambhala Sun and Buddhadharma. Then again, you may not know us at all. Either way, please allow us to re-introduce ourselves:
We’re the Shambhala Sun Foundation. We [...]
